provides risk coverage for assets. Health insurance and with pension system schemes are
primarily to protect an individual against uncertainty of life, and India, as the second-most
populated nation in the world, offers major potential factor for that type of cover. Furthermore,
fire and liabil1i1ty insurance are of essential or basic for corporation’s to protect infrastructural
projects and investment risks. Private insurance system directly complements social security
2
systems and adds value by matching risk with price element.
India is prone to natural catastrophes of one or other kind, the insurance cover to ease the
negative aspects of financial consequences of adverse events remains underdeveloped, leading to
significant uncapped possible in different segment of present market. The same holds right for all
pension and insurance relating to health, where the insurers can take a major part in minimizing
demand with supply gap. The major changes in both the national economic policy and insurance
regulation will uphold the prospects of this segment moving forward. Appropriate risk pricing is
the major impact tools for setting the appropriate incentives for the effective distribution of
resources, these features are the key to a country like India with fast developing economies
INDIAN INSURANCE INDUSTRY
The insurance companies, started their operations from 1818 and 1869, showcased the life of
Indians as subnormal and availed additional policy premiums up to 15 - 20 percentages. The
Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society which was the first insurance company commenced its
business from 1870 to insure lives of Indians at normal policy premium rates. The Insurance Act,
1938 was the first complete legislation governing life and non-life insurance branches were
enacted to provide discipline state control over the present insurance business. This amended
insurance Act foresee into expenditures, investment and management of companies. By the mid-
1950’s there was around 154 Indian insurers, 16 foreign insurers, and included 75 provident
societies operating the business of life insurance in India. Insurance businesses rouse and with
this flourish paved the way for scams, irregularity and malpractices by scores of companies. As
an outcome to theses practices the government concluded by opting to nationalization of the life
insurance business in India. The Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) was set up in 1956.
The nationalization of life insurance was succeeded by general insurance in 1972.

The Company’s CSR Policy frames the Company’s duties as a citizen of society and put up the
rules and mechanism for undertaking activities for welfare and sustainable development of the
large community. Corporate Social Responsibility is followed in its true spirit. The Company has
10
always been the leader of discharging its Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) as a
responsible corporate citizen, chalking out multiple pioneering models on CSR and inclusion.
We have always believed that a business as a entity of society and economy, and plays an
important role in building the nation. The Company believes that the real measure of growth,
success and progress goes beyond balance sheets figures or dynamic economic indices. It is best
reflected in the difference that business and industry make to the lives of people in the society.
The Company being a dedicated corporate citizen tries to an advanced social well-being in local
communities. The Company believes that CSR is not just a liability or any charity or mere
donations but a way of going beyond business as usual, creating shared values and contributing
to social and environmental good. The Company takes its responsibility towards society very
critically, as it believes that growth of the Company is directly linked with the society where the
operations are taken place. The actions of the business and community are highly inter-
dependent.
The Company’s CSR contribution focuses to extend its help in different segments of our society.
The Company’s objective is to take an active part so as to support socio-economical000
development in the areas where it operates and enable number of individuals to participate in it
and benefit in their social and economic up gradations. This is reciprocated on the only belief
that the growth and forward development are positive only when the results turn out be in wider
access of opportunities and promotes to benefit a broader segments of society.
By our small contribution we tried to touch base with different section of the society which
includes children facing lack of immunization; adolescents suffering from anaemia; cancer
patients; building facilities at hospital or ambitious young kids to support best of the training in
sports which otherwise is not accessible to them.
Children are the future of the world and hence, nothing can come parallel to their safety and
balanced nourishment and care. With this thought, we have focused on providing our helping
hand to ensure immunization among children below age of 5 years; reducing prevalence of
anaemia amongst children and adolescents; and to cover the cost of medicines, make available
affordable/subsidized accommodation for the cancer patients and attendants during the treatment
& cost of food and supplements in Mumbai.

“Social Doctors” by training non-medical persons. By way of our contribution, Trust was helped
in procuring certain specific Trauma Care equipments/mobile Van and Laptops/ Computer etc. to
generate reports/records etc.
Apart from focusing on health issues, the Company also took ‘Sports’ as serious field which can
help the upcoming bright and deserving talents to go ahead, make their career and make the
Country proud. Sports is taken up as one of the fields for contribution; since the Country lacks in
world class sports facilities and it has been out of reach to the poor section of the society, despite
having the talent and willingness. The Company extended its help to such children who cannot
afford the fees associated with sports but are bright and talented.
The CSR Committee approved the activities and monitored the progress of projects/activities

CHAPTER 5
FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS
5.1 Summary of Findings
1. The number of people with the age group between 18 to 30 is more and showed low
interest towards getting their life insured. They are under an assumption that they remain
hail and healthy without taking risk into equation.
2. People are mostly interested non pure life insurance, as they prefer insurance as an
investment.
3. People prefer schemes with less years of payment term.
4. Another main reason which drives people into insurance is to avoid tax benefits.
5. LIC remains to be the market leader in the insurance market.
6. Customer tends to prefer payments through online so as to avoid wastage of time.
7. Monthly premium are preferred more against annual payments
8. Television advertisements are the major influence in buying decision of a life insurance
policy.
9. Brand image can be highlighted in buying decision of the customer.
10. A limited reach of IDBI products can be seen against other players in the market.
38
5.2 Conclusion
As there is completion in every sector changes in economies of scale regarding to consumer
expectations. The insurance sector has bought in these unique aspects such as customer
education and vast changes in the role and responsibility of the intermediaries to the distribution
channel. In respect to the life insurance people are driven to the purchase of policies based on the
following reasons such as
Savings
Investments
Securing of life
The main challenge faced by the insurance company is to motivate the customer and promote
sales. The introduction of private players has paved in a new wave in insurance by stretching the
market both in terms of quality and quantity. With the effective norms and regulations of IRDAI
we can say the insurance industry is booming with information by providing all the info without
disclosure to customers and enhancing consumer buying behavior.
39
5.3 Suggestions
1. Targeting young age group between 18-30 is essential.
2. Various new and innovative plans must be introduced with less policy period
3. We have seen television is the major influencers of customers, our advertisements and
promotions should be on that media.
4. Group insurance policies must be introduced as the 2nd
most influencers are family and
friends.
5. Our connectivity needs to be made more through social media (instagram, Facebook, Twitter,
and YouTube campaigns)
6. Policies with different range of premium must be made available.
7. Increase in distribution channel must be made meet different kinds of customers.
8. Innovative and effective advertisements with detailed information of policies should be made
in crisp format.
9. Targeting the entire market is more suitable.
10. Launching of an app for mobile users effective is a must as per the future trend.
